This will be my final post with images. I laid down my gear for the last time in May of this year. Last October I was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). I have lost my ability to speak and use my right arm and hand. Using my gear was just getting too difficult and the enjoyment wasn't there anymore.

I would like to thank everyone for the kind words on my photos over the years. It was a good ride while it lasted. The following images were taken earlier this year.

All taken with a D200, 500mm f/4g VR-II with or without one of the Nikon televonverters. From my old 1995 reliable green Chevy pickup truck with the BLUBB bean bag.
